Cruel tax masters the stranger is here <br />Names to cease see the list does not end <br />He forcefully take anytime anywhere <br />Take away take away our best of friends <br />Lying in state <br />No more hate no hast no race <br />Curtain flung the open gate <br />Closed wounded eyes embrace <br />Fly away fly away <br />Not the beginning but not the end <br />Gather around chip tears and cry <br />Wonder away spirit to an unknown end <br />Over and ever to peace and rest <br />Come of age come of age <br />Once your cup is full drink it with dearest <br />Pass away pass away like an old adage <br />Remembered with a sigh and tears <br />Fall again fall again <br />Another night dark and dreary with fears <br />Cast away cast away all fetish gain <br />And hide your beloved under the glutton cave<br /><br />George Egba<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/leaving-after-love/
